Chinese Politburo holds study session on blockchain
Original: The Chinese politburo - the body governing the country - had a study day on blockchain. Have we seen anything like that
China's ruling Politburo devoted a collective study day to blockchain technology, a session reported by the South China Morning Post. The top leadership gathering signals how seriously Beijing treats the technology underpinning bitcoin, prompting observers abroad to ask whether any other government's highest decision-making body has done anything similar. Former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt highlighted the session and suggested it shows China preparing to lead on the technology.
Why now: The news that China's top governing body is formally studying blockchain suggests state-level ambitions in the technology, which is rare and striking internationally.
